DENAM: I hear you've learned the whereabouts of the princess?
SHADOW: She was spotted with a party of Dark Knights training at Barnicia Castle.
DENAM: Abuna Mreuva, is the king's tomb located at Barnicia?
MREUVA: I do not know.... I had already left the city when the king passed. Yet, I find their actions baffling.
DENAM: How so?
MREUVA: I heard no claims that the king had been buried anywhere but the royal mausoleum. I am sure that the queen and prince rest there, in the city.
DENAM: So they search for a different tomb.
MREUVA: When we reach Barnicia, we'll know.
DENAM: True enough. I doubt Brantyn expects us to move on them there. And we should have the support of the people if we're seen as wresting the princess from the hands of the Dark Knights.
MREUVA: I am inclined to agree.
DENAM (standing): We prepare for war, then. Send one legion to Iorumza Canyon to draw the Bakram forces' attention. While they are so occupied, I will lead a detachment directly on Barnicia.
ATTENDANT: As you command, sir.
[He hurries to give out Denam's orders.]
DENAM: Much hangs in the balance. Let us pray the chariot rides with us.
